Must see in Gambia

The Republic of The Gambia is a small country located in the west of the African continent, with a narrow coast that is lapped by the Atlantic Ocean. The entire country spans both banks of the lower course of the Gambia River, from which it derives its name. During the era of the slave trade, the Portuguese established a colony on the riverbanks, and since 1765, Gambia has been part of the British Empire. The Gambia gained its independence in 1965. The country's economy relies on fishing, farming, and tourism, although a large portion of the population lives modestly. However, this doesn't stop Gambians from warmly welcoming visitors to their beautiful country with big smiles.
